Colorado meatpacking plant lays off 100 Muslim workers
LA Times ^ | September 11, 2008 | Nicholas Riccardi

JBS Swift & Co. fires about one-fourth of 400 workers who had walked off the job, demanding break time to pray during the holy month of Ramadan. The union local says it will fight the action. ...

When Ramadan began Sept. 1, workers said supervisors informally gave them time to break their daylong fast at sundown.

But non-Muslim employees protested, and on Friday, JBS Swift & Co. officials refused to give workers break time to pray and eat.

About 400 workers left the company's meatpacking plant, which dominates this city of 90,000. By Tuesday, 250 had not returned, and Swift warned that those who didn't come back faced immediate termination. ...

Since 9/11 I have become less tolerant and less "understanding" of islam's peculiarities. Let them go back to Somalia.

CANNOT POST THIS ENOUGH!

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

Nation % Muslim
United States 1.0%
Australia 1.5%
Italy 1.5%
Norway 1.8%
Canada 1.9%
China 2.0%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Nation % Muslim
Denmark 2.0%
United Kingdom 2.7%
Germany 3.7%
Spain 4.0%
Thailand 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. (United States).

Nation % Muslim
Switzerland 4.3%
Philippines 5.0%
Sweden 5.0%
The Netherlands 5.5%
Trinida and Tabago 5.8%
France 8.0%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world. When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).

Nation % Muslim
Guyana 10.0%
India 13.4%
Israel 16.0%
Kenya 10.0%
Russia 15.0%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

Nation % Muslim
Ethiopia 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Nation % Muslim
Bosnia 40.0%
Chad 50.1%
Lebanon 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Nation % Muslim
Albania 70.0%
Malaysia 60.4%
Qatar 77.5%
Sudan 70.0%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Nation % Muslim
Bangladesh 83.0%
Egypt 90.0%
Gaza 98.7%
Indonesia 86.1%
Iran 98.0%
Iraq 97.0%
Jordan 92.0%
Morocco 98.7%
Pakistan 97.0%
Syria 90.0%
Tajikistan 90.0%
Turkey 99.8%
United Arab Emirates 96.0%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim: Nation % Muslim
Yemen 99.9%
Afghanistan 100.0%
Saudi Arabia 100.0%
Somalia 100.0%

Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.

"JBS Swift & Co. fires about one-fourth of 400 workers who had walked off the job, demanding break time to pray during the holy month of Ramadan. The union local says it will fight the action."

A private company is making its own employment decisions? Good. A job is not a lifelong claim on your employer, and I'm glad that those who create the jobs still have the freedom to make these decisions based on whatever business criteria or otehr reasons they wish. In the case of unskilled workers demanding extensive special treatment, I completely understand this decision. If I knew of JBS Swift products available in my area, I'd buy them.

They want special treatment for their RELIGION? Hell, Christians can’t even have so much as a Bible on their own desk in some companies! I’m buying Swift meat products from now on!

that’s ironic

because greeley, colorado

was where sayyid qutb lived while visiting the united states in 1949.

he was instrumental in reintroducing the hardline wahabism

to the sunni arab world.

sayyid qutb was repulsed by the interactions of american teens at dances!

greeley was pretty conservative then.

We don’t use commercial meats ......we slaughter beef, pork and chicken products from local ranchers and farmers and let local butchers process it for us in bulk each year. We fish and hunt for venison and fowl as well and properly preserve that harvested product or share excess with others as we can.

Swift, Tyson and the rest of the illegal / terrorist employers can rot in hell for all we care. We support America, Americans and American traditions and those legal immigrants who want to be Americans with our dollars and time !

We’ll let the big city socialists pick up the dime for their seditious activity of providing sanctuary, aid and comfort to lazy welfare consuming trash that would cut their throats if they thought they could get away with it.

Just the way we do it !

Stay safe !

1. At a WalMart, the muzzie food checkers (beep people) refused to scan the bacon (well-sealed behind thick plastic).

2. At Harvard, they have muzzie segregated basketball court times —muzzie chicks only, sorry...

3. Some Universities feature foot-baths for some stupid muzzie holiday. You got dirty feet, honky? Sorry...again, muzzies only.

4. Lots of other stupid stuff.
